    Here is my motor. The ECU kit is a stand alone GM Perfomance E67 for use with the ZR1 and the CTSV. The motor is also even more powerful than that article I posted apparently. Still waiting on the specifics and the actual dyno sheet to be sent over but my friend says this one made over 600hp!! And he said it revs to 7k too

    Also some photos of my carpet after I cleaned it all up.

    From what I understand, it's this motor with a hotter cam. The motor I bought was one of Thomson's GMPP LSX 427's that they had leftover and tried to further tweak. It has all new internals and was run on the dyno so I should have the dyno sheet and build specs this eve or tomorrow.

    Brought the 427 home last night My indy friend is taking the E39 this eve to pull the motor, pay me $500 and then bring the car back. Should be setting the motor in the car Sunday to start figuring out where the harness will go etc. So excited.

    Also, the wifey and I will be having a baby on Monday so I will be super busy b/t baby and E39 project and will probably get zero sleep for a while.

    Stack loot first

    Clay towed the car home for me after an indy friend pulled and purchased the motor.

    I pulled the sway bar and cleaned up the bay. Swapped the autokraft oil pan over and installed the mounts. First test fit.

    I just wanted to say congrats on the baby. You will soon see it will consume almost all of your time. Thank goodness you have two cars. You will want an escape sometimes and this will probably be yours. Enjoy the baby, the car can wait. You will never be able to replace time and development with your child.
